Rob Estes, the actor who captured millions of hearts in the 1990s on shows like Melrose Place and Silk Stalkings, is proving that allure doesn’t fade with time. Now 61, Estes has fully embraced a natural look, sporting distinguished silver hair while retaining his signature crystal-blue eyes. Fans continue to praise his authentic approach to aging, noting that he looks as charismatic as ever.

However, the star has largely traded the Hollywood spotlight for a quieter existence. Since 2010, Estes has lived in the peaceful beach town of San Clemente, California, with his wife, teacher Erin Bolte. The couple made the deliberate move to raise their son, Makai, in a low-stress environment, far removed from the industry’s hustle. Estes also co-parents two older children, Mason and Maya, from his previous marriage to Josie Bissett.

Finding Joy in Simplicity

Today, the actor finds peace in simple pleasures like gardening and playing music. His household prioritizes genuine connection, enforcing a strict “no electronics” rule during nightly family dinners to ensure quality bonding time.

While he hasn’t retired completely—recently appearing in the 2023 film Beautiful Wedding—Estes has redefined what success looks like. By choosing selective roles and prioritizing his role as a husband and father, this former heartthrob demonstrates that a happy home life is the ultimate achievement.
